I had a cinnamon mint USB drive in my bag. I booted to it, and it saved the day! I don't have anybody to tell just how much of a godsend that was, but I figured you guys might appreciate it!

Linux is good, but it is not magic. Not every crash is a software problem. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] filiberto_kunstlinger@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago I once had a faulty cpu and windows denied booting. I was able to tell grub to load the kernel an run off of 3 instead of four cores. I had that machine running another 2 years or so. permalink fedilink source parent [–] greatwhitebuffalo41@slrpnk.net 1 point 1 month ago I had my first full freeze today. Ive been using mint for months now. I think steam was having a meltdown but, I also had a finicky program running in bottles and my computer isn't top of the line so that was a lot of resource use lol. permalink fedilink source parent
